Currently the only real way to deal with the CC problem is to have magic armor equipped. Ideally wits would be the solution to your problem (which is actually mentioned on the stat...) but it doesn't really because the stat system in the game is currently terrible. There are a million topics that discuss this, if you want to know more go find one of them. At present the two solutions are to either deal with it using magic armor and clever play, or wait for full release once they have all the kinks sorted out. (keep in mind this is a beta after all)
